Goodbye, Kobe.

Much love and respect to the one of the best to ever play the game. There were times I didn't love you....as I was cheering on the opposing team, but I always respected and cherished everything you gave to the game of basketball. I will forever miss your fierce competitiveness. 

Dear Basketball,

From the moment

I started rolling my dad’s tube socks

And shooting imaginary

Game-winning shots

In the Great Western Forum

I knew one thing was real:

I fell in love with you.

A love so deep I gave you my all —

From my mind & body

To my spirit & soul.

And we both know, no matter what I do next

I’ll always be that kid

With the rolled up socks

Garbage can in the corner

:05 seconds on the clock

Ball in my hands.

5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1

Love you always,

Kobe
